Fill in the Song
Parent sings familiar songs and pauses before key words, waiting for child to fill in the gap. Observes whether child vocalises on cue, fills in words vs. just sounds, and whether child spontaneously continues songs unprompted. Four rounds across two different songs, ending with open freestyle invitation.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Think of 2 familiar songs (e.g. Twinkle Twinkle, Wheels on the Bus, Old MacDonald, Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, Row Row Row Your Boat, or any local nursery song). No materials needed.
